Rick isnt expected to last through tommorrow. Hes unable to speak and is falling into a coma. Please pray for his family. Rick is in the Lords hands now.
So very sorry to hear that he's not expected to make it out on the pier to see the renovation. Will be praying for him!
That's a heart breaker. Rick stays in my prayers, I will miss him greatly. Hoping that his pain ends and a new horizon of fishing opens up. I'm sure he'll be there with his Gotcha.
We talked a lot about the pier being closed and it coinciding with the pier closure. I visited with him late last week and I fed him a big mess of whiting and white trout we caught on our boat last week. He said it was Excellent. Rick never lost his lucid mind. It was amazing our fishing buddy display a level of peace and grace throughout his illness. He accepted his fate like the man he was. He surely missed the fun of standing on the rail and catching spanish and others. I'm thankful he saw me as his friend. What an honor to play a small part to make his life better. He's a veteran and career Air Force Master Sergeant. My buddy.
He will be missed. I have never seen anyone as skilled with a spoon. I will miss his sense of humor and that slow grin. A fine, fine man.
Update on Rick's condition today?
Rick has passed away. He belongs to the ages. Good bye buddy.
Just heartbreaking news. We shared lots of laughs over complete foolishness. We will miss him very much.
So sorry to hear he asked me couple years ago to get him 10 packs of the Cotton Cordell Spoons and at the time never could find them around Gardendale. He could sure catch Spanish on them. Praying for his Family.

- he will be missed. We worked together many years back in Mobile Aerospace and he's always nice at the pier. Respectful person.
The last few days Rick busied himself with final details. I wish you all coulda seen him woff down those fish we cooked. He laughed and smiled a lot. You could tell he was glad he'd soon quit hurting. Rick Braves the kemo but unknowingly, the cancer spread from his pancrease to his abdominal area and he and the doctors decided he'd had enough. He loved you guys. Honestly. His beautiful white hair was growing back and I promised him I'd shave um on my next visit. He slipped quietly into a coma before I could. I know where he is. Standing before a golden rail with his left hand clutching a golden fishing rod catching blessings for you ALL.
So very sorry that he has passed. We will all miss his company, but he is no longer hurting.
So sorry to hear --- RIP friend.
Prayers for all his family and friends
Very sad to hear this, he will be truly missed by me , always looked forward to seeing him the days he could make it during my stays.
Always seems to happen to the good guys. I've know Rick for several years and he was always pleasant and smiling. We frequently traded equipment and his was always in top notch shape. I feel privileged to have his Senior cart that I still use set up like he had it.
I will miss my old friend. I know how much he enjoyed fishing the pier and friends he had. I'm proud to have known him as a
friend. Tight lines in heaven Mr. Rick!
If somebody sees the funeral details will you please post them. THANKS!
Would you please post his Obituary when they get it done if possible? THANKS!Quote:

I don't know if he ever ate spanish mackerel, but he sure gave a LOT away ;-)
